Monitoring changes in non-ionizing radiofrequency electromagnetic waves as they traverse the brain can detect the effects of stimuli employed in cerebrovascular autoregulation (CVA) tests on the brain, without contact and in real time. CVA is a physiological phenomenon of importance to health, used for diagnosis of a number of diseases of the brain with a vascular component. The technology desc...

Antibody responses to Acinetobacter (five strains), Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Escherichia coli, myelin basic protein (MBP), and neurofilaments were measured in sera from 26 multiple sclerosis (MS) patients, 20 patients with cerebrovascular accidents (CVA), 10 patients with viral encephalitis, and 25 healthy blood donors. In MS patients, elevated levels of antibodies against all strains of Acineto...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to examine whether metabolic syndrome (MetS), applying different definitions, predicts incident coronary heart disease (CHD) and cerebrovascular events (CVAs) independent of its components. METHODS Among 2548, aged ≥ 50 years, World Health Organization, International Diabetes Federation, and Joint Interim Statement criteria were used to def...

Cerebrovascular accidents (CVA) are important causes of neurological clinical signs in dogs. The objective of this work was to describe concurrent diseases and ultrasonographic features in dogs with CVA confirmed through postmortem evaluation. All medical records of transcranial Doppler ultrasonography (TCDUS) examinations performed in 512 dogs between 2007 and 2009 were reviewed, searching for...

Background: Cerebral venous sinus thrombosis (CVST) is a potentially life-threatening condition with wide range of clinical presentations, from localized headache (the most common symptom) to mental status disturbances, seizures, and coma. Objectives: The main purpose this study was evaluate serum levels ferritin, iron, total iron binding capacity (TIBC) their possible relationship different pa...

  Purpose: Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) is an important step for patient survival inside   and outside the hospital. Therefore, the results of CPR can be effective in modifying the structure   of this operation and in eliminating its shortcomings. The purpose of this study was to evaluate   the success rate of CPR in intensive care unit of an Iran’s Army Air Force hospital in 2012.   Mat...
